Каким еще "опубликованным прототипом"?
Там сказано, что он говорил, что прототип был ДРУГОЙ, а не тот, что написано в Википедии.
Причем "ДРУГОЙ" - это не фамилия.
Но безымянные редакторы Википедии знают лучше самого автора кого он взял, как прототип.
Шизофрения в чистом виде.
Вот как сейчас в Вике сказано об этом
Alleged resemblance to Anatole Broyard
In the reviews of the book in both the daily and the Sunday New York Times in 2000, Kakutani and Lorrie Moore suggested that the central character of Coleman Silk might have been inspired by Anatole Broyard, a well-known New York literary editor of the Times.[2][7] Other writers in the academic and mainstream press made the same suggestion.[8][9][10][11][12][13] After Broyard's death in 1990, it had been revealed that he racially passed during his many years employed as a critic at The New York Times.[14] He was of Louisiana Creole ancestry.Roth himself stated that he had not known of Broyard's ancestry when he started writing the book and only learned of it months later.[3][15] In Roth's words, written in "An Open Letter to Wikipedia" and published by The New Yorker: "Neither Broyard nor anyone associated with Broyard had anything to do with my imagining anything in The Human Stain."[3] Roth stated that Coleman Silk was inspired "by an unhappy event in the life of my late friend Melvin Tumin."[3]
